metal roses…

I try not to post everyday, but, I did want to share this project, because, it’s related to yesterday’s metal stamping post. 

coke can roses

I attached them to my clipboard banner in my scrap room.  this pin is what inspired my project.  I love these clipboards, but, I needed 7 white roses to do my “vintage” banner.   and, since, I already had the supplies, my roses were free:)

here’s the finished banner with the roses.

to make them, after cutting up the coke can, I ran them through my die cutter with a spiral rose die.  this is what the die cuts look like.

then, just roll them up, starting on the outside rolling inward, and hot glue the bottoms in place.  I used needle nose pliers to bend the petals a bit, and spray painted them white on both sides.

I should mention, too, my interest in the metal projects first came from aimee at twigg studios.  awhile back she posted a tutorial and I pinned it.  she hand cut and hand punched her cute tags made from coke cans.  if you haven’t been to her site, please go check out her awesome projects:)

thanks for looking today!
